We show how models for prediction with expert advice can be defined concisely and clearly using hidden Markov models (HMMs); standard HMM algorithms can then be used to efficiently calculate, among other things, how the expert predictions should be weighted according to the model. We cast many existing models as HMMs and recover the best known running times in each case. We also describe two ne...

in this paper, a new approach for estimating the number of wideband sources is proposed which is based on rss or ism algorithms. numerical results show that the mdl-based and eit-based proposed algorithm havea much better detection performance than that in egm and aic cases for small differences between the incident angles of sources. in addition, for similar conditions, rss algorithm offers hi...
